George Earhart is an NC State Master of Management Risk and Analytics (MRA) student. 🐺🐾 Learn more about him in this Q&A. ⬇️ Q: Introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about your background A: I’m a recently retired Air Force veteran, after 22 years of service. I have also been recently admitted into the Poole College of Management’s Risk and Analytics Program where I will be starting this January in the spring semester! I am looking to start a new career in the next year in Defense Technology Space. In 2010, I found myself on my 8th deployment to Afghanistan and unfortunately, I was catastrophically injured to the point where I didn’t know what my career would be. I spent about a year in the hospital learning how to walk again. I started going to school part-time and started working on a Bachelor’s in Intelligence Studies. After finishing my Bachelor’s, I completed a Master’s in Security Studies from East Carolina, and I finished that with a study abroad in Bosnia. Shortly after applying, I pursued an MBA at UNCW. Q: The Masters in Risk Analytics is a very new program. What were some of the factors that made you think that this was the program for you? A: After talking to the faculty early on in the process and being given access to the curriculum, I could see how I would use the course work in what I’m about to get into as well as commercially. I could see the course work where I would learn the data analytics skills that I want to learn and get more proficient at but then have a more disciplined direction in how I use those skills with risk analytics for finance and operational risk. I’ve seen different Business Analytics programs with some different focus areas, but nothing like this. #PooleStudentSpotlight #NCStatePooleMRA #NCStatePoole #ThinkAndDo
